Real Estate / Astounded by the poor value of residential property here in Wroclaw [92]

For 2500 pln in sydney you can get 75 beers in a nightclub. A plastic dog kennel is more than that. I am lucky I started to think sharply when I was young or I now would be living at home like heaps of ppl here. 2500 pln does not get you anything but 1 room in someones back yard granny flat 1 hour from the city. Living at home is not a sign of success at all here it meabs you are a loser. The cost of living has gone up heaps and wages almost nil. Poles are doing it tough heaps of ozzies are too and heaps are rich but the gap is growing. Illigal drugs are cheap by the way cheaper than alcohol and tobacco. So if you want to have 2 beers in a nightclub you can get stoned 5 or 6 times instead. The drug culture here is a joke partially caused by the government making legal drugs more expensive than illegal ones. Yes it's tough in poland and everywhere also. Not for me but I can c how it will be for my kids in 10 more years.

Study / Bachelor's in aerospace in Poland - how high is the level? [23]

Yes australia. Very difficult to visit neighbours by train here. I answered this topic because I just finished 3 months doing work for a company who supplies engineering for aerospace and the chief engineer is german and he says the opposite.

Study / Bachelor's in aerospace in Poland - how high is the level? [23]

Yes wtf. Thats what I think when I read your post. I read one of the german forums the other day with a bunch of mates now there is 6 ppl asking wtf? You can't possibly live next door and know nothing? Get on a train and go visit you neighbours for a weekend, you will be much better off. They wont bite.

Life / Washing machine in the bathroom of Poles [78]

I've always had a laundry room. I find the wsshing machine in bathroom extremely strange. As a social ecperiment I am now going to go ask the wife and kids what they think of putting it in the bathroom. I think it will be funny lets see.

Life / Foreigners in Poland - the identities of our native or the host country [66]

When or if I start my business there I am only hireing poles. No offense intended I just think its the right thing to do.

Travel / BIGGEST MOSQUE IN POLAND! - Gdansk [42]

You can. I do aplogise for my untoward outburst. No excuse for that. I will go outside and calm down. People are looking at me funny it must be showing. Anyway I didn't mean it.

News / Polish Business Centre Club hammers another nail in Blair's coffin [35]

I feel mad I dont like it when ppl sit at home and spout this trash. Your country man make sacrifices with their allies and you whine because of some domestic rubbish. You say I cant argue but why on earh would I want a duscussion with some selfish hippy about s topic you know nothing about? I would be better off talking to my cat it knows more. Your theories are worthless. Stick to domestic politics before you embarass your coutry more.

News / Polish Business Centre Club hammers another nail in Blair's coffin [35]

You insult the poles but you also insult us ozzie soldiers who were there. The only illigal thing he did was to let you breathe. The only good thing saddam did was die like the animal he was. You lot are even becoming a laughing stock here. The poles and brits are great soldiers and you are a biological waste product. I would support 10 blairs and invade 100 more despotic madman in exchange for you forum rights to be removed. Selfish coward go away.

Her nose was itching, it happens.

UK, Ireland / I'm from a small town in the UK and I think Poland is a nation of criminals [37]

Thats just propaganda. Last week a boy was assaulted here by 3 older man 2 held him downwhile the 3rd sodomised him and assaulted him. Another was approached in the street and flammable liquid was thrown on him and he was set alight. He is 14. This sort of crime happens here all the time it only ever gets out when the media gets their hands on it. When you tell people they dont believe. After it happens to them only then they believe. Meanwhile people on forums tell me its not true and at the same time I can see it on telly. Propaganda to gain tourist dollar. Utter rubbish. The crimes mentioned here are petty. Those who dont get it are the next vicims. If the poles are crims than I say come here they will show you real crime.

Australia / Poles invaded the wrong Anglo-Saxon country [29]

Yes I mean your post. I didnt have time to explain properly so was not happy with my post but what you wrote is very accurate. Thanks.

Australia / Poles invaded the wrong Anglo-Saxon country [29]

Ok finally a post I can agree with. Well done.

Australia / Poles invaded the wrong Anglo-Saxon country [29]

Like I said 10 times its a great place. Its becoming less great. Spouting what mate? Save your propaganda for tourist adverts mate the place is becoming like the usa more every day. It is pretty safe but compared to there its not. I feel safe everywhete here too so what, I dont feel safe letting kids out on their own all the time. Havent for ten years. Besides there is more to it. I was in the army all that and love the place but it is not the place I once liked so much. I dont want to say rhe other reasons, you will make fun of me lol.

Australia / I am moving back to Poland - to live from Australia. Is it a good idea? [29]

I am going to take 10000. Plane and hotel for 30 days will be about 3500. But after I meet some people I will use their house as base so even less because I will pay them less but they will still b happy. You c I dont want a comftable place I will be searching places to live and make business so if I sit in hotel I will fail. My goal is to meet people and places not have a holiday but ofcourse with 6000 left or more I will have a good time on weekend. If all that is viable I will come back and we will sell lots of things and only than make move. I am the sort of person who walks into places and that sort of thing so I will not have any problems doing all that. One of the things I read here all the time is money. Our move would not be for money it is for life. Money I will make, life here is changing beyond what we want. Life is too short for me to accept the changes here, we can c a far better life akthough we have everything. This may seem strange to some people but there is a lot here now that we dont want. My wife is australian and she agrees. Ofcourse we can akways leave.

Under dual citizenship you can always go back as long as you have enough money to try first.

Australia / Poles invaded the wrong Anglo-Saxon country [29]

A high wage here is more than 85k, a great wage is 100k. 16.5 an hour is reallly really low it is kids money. The rent is so high if you dont have house that wage above will mean yiu will be poor. Thats what I keep telling you forget if it looks attractive it is rubbish. To rent a broken shack in sydney is 300 a week. If you want house to rent its a minimum of 600 a week and if you have 4 bedrooms its 800 or much more per week.not only that there is shortage. Add the other costsl to live like food petrol and everything and you will soon realise it is a big fake. Sydney has one if the highest costs of living in the world or us it the actual highest? If you are coming here bring money to start up or you will perish.
